Get a 12t 550 reversed unit or switch the leads on on of the motors so when you mount it up, it wont rip apart the spur gear cause both are going the same direction, which would actually be opposite if you had one facing each way...

second step, cool idea. It is possible but will take some creativity as far as the motor plate goes, cause you might also have to make a motor support for the opposite facing motor cause you are definitely going to have to extend the mounting out with pegs so the pinion will line up with the spur.

next is I have the setup you are wanting sitting in my big rig right now!! the 16.8 esc with two titan 550 12t motors. or maybe they are 21t's?? if you want em shoot me a pm. I would highly recommend just using either two 6 cells to keep the 14.4 volts, or a pair of 2s lipos but the 16.8 esc does NOT have LVD. So that is a HUGE drawback.

It should not be too hard to get the motor up on the topside, or even topside same direction. Just remember to use same tooth pinions...

I would not do the extra gear idea. It would be the weak link and having to figure out the mounting.

I would look at the two 380s like they have that emaxx. Bad part is you can't reverse one of those rotation unless you plug it up differently somehow. But experimenting could get expensive if you cook an esc trying to figure it out.

I know its abit of a crazy idea but could grab a couple of BRUSHED 380's somewhere on the cheap to do the mockup before buying the 2 VXL motors, make a mini version of the EMAXX motor plate then use some spacers possibly the ones from axial since they make them in so many sizes an color cause you know color is everything!

you would be using the spacers to offset the motor plate out far enough so you could get the spur gear room while allowing the ability to move the motor side to side for meshing (slot the holes in the motor plate with 2 sets of holes that are the same way but for the screws you will be using) that should take care of most of the complicated parts... now you may or may not need to make another plate with more offsets but that plate would be just for reinforcing the motor moutning plate if that all makes sence.
